Misconception # 4: Scrum Masters must attend the Daily Scrum.

Another common misconception about the Daily Scrum is that the Scrum Master should facilitate the meeting.  In reality, while the Scrum Master should ensure that the Daily Scrum takes place, they are not required to facilitate the meeting.

The Daily Scrum is a synchronization meeting for Developers, and no one else is required to attend.

Scrum Masters might decide to facilitate the event if the Developers are struggling to maintain the timebox or need additional coaching.
